Missionaries appreciate not only meeting
the members, but having someone cook dinner for them - or at least I did. Depending on the area, I suppose there are some meals that can get
tiresome for missionaries. Spaghetti
seems to be a huge staple. Missionaries
seem to get their fill of pizza in the ward I currently reside. In my mission, the meal that was overdone
always included fried chicken and some unidentified vegetable that had been
boiled beyond recognition.
Serving chicken was so overdone that
before my mission ended, I was certain
that I wouldn't care if I ever ate chicken again. And I think it was seriously
a couple of years before I willingly ate it again.
Roland always likes to do something
different for the missionaries - something original that they (the
missionaries) don't get very often.
We've had Hawaiian haystacks (we've actually had other members tell us
how much the missionaries raved over that one), steak, meatloaf and one Jenna's
favorites: breakfast.
Although we weren't signed up to feed
the missionaries until last night, Roland thought we should time ourselves the
night prior just to see how long it took to make it all. We had blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage,
bacon, hasbrowns, assorted muffins and juice. Elder Campbell gave us the thumbs up. The meal was quite a success. Jenna missed having French toast, but really
. . . that was a lot of food.
We used paper plates and cups but not disposable pans or serving dishes. The sink was quite full like would be on Thanksgiving. I haven't yet finished the dishes.
